Here is a link to Google Maps for amazing engineering evidence of ancient world I will explain below.
Just consider - this stone weights roughly 1000 tonnes and was cut out thousands of years ago. Nowadays the technology to lift and move so heavy loads have emerged only 10-20 years ago. This stone was abandoned at quarry, but there are three stones wighting around 800 tones each that were cut out and brought over to the construction site some 600m away to the Baalbek acropolis platform. There is no strong evidence as to who and how and most importantly why it was built and when did it happen. Theories range form Romans doing it by using man power (for me seems too extreme) to platform being built for prehistoric extraterrestrial space ship landing purposes. Here is a very good article about Baalbek Stone and Platform.
